FEDERAL ELEG .i..-v TIONS. ': A HEAVY POLL. LARGE LABOR MAJORITIES. VICTORY FOR ORGANISATION. The Federal elections /were held on Wednesday last, . and, though the returns are not yet complete, there is very little likelihood of any of the positions held by the different candidates being altered. It may, therefore, betaken that the State will be represented in the Senate by three Labor men, and in -the House of Representatives by three Laborites and two Liberals. The result of the election cer tainly conies as a rude shock to the thinking section of the com munity. It is an, undoubted victory for organisation, and will doubtless convince .those who support the Liberal move ment that the time has now passed for spasmodic prepara mencing shorbly before, election day. The poll was an unusually heavy one, and no doubt, when the full returns, are in, will, in some respects, create a new record for the State, But, despite this fact, a very large portion of the electors, numbering many tho...

NEW SOUTH WALES. OBSERVED AT SYDNEY ?.':??- OBSERVATORY. Mr W. R. Raymond, officer in charge of the Observatory, re ports that he 'picked up' Halley's comet with the ll^in telescope about 45 niinutes before sunrise on Monday morning. Previous attempts to observe this object during the past week were frustrated owing to the preva lence pf clouds and fogs about daylight. Observed through the dawn it did not appear a brilliant object, and it will be some days yet before proper observations can be made of it. Through the telescope it seemed about as large as an eighth magnitude star, and is, therefore, still invisible to the naked eye\

Graham, had ? rather an exciting adventure .while fishing near the West Channel pile light, Portarlington, on Sunday.

Several tempting baits were thrown into the water, and one of the sharks, in. turning over to secure one, presented a good target. Mr Hord succeeded In ? lodging a bullet from a Lee Enfield rifle under the fin, which caused the shark to 'sporj' in a very lively manner, making the water fly up. to a height of 20ft. The shooter managed to put in a second bullet into the monster, which, it was believed, finally settled him, the body rolling over and sinking to the bottom.
